Jameos del Agua

The first of César Manrique’s great creations, built inside a volcanic tunnel formed by the eruption of Monte Corona. A staircase leads down to a still, turquoise underground lake home to tiny blind albino crabs found nowhere else on Earth. Beyond it sit a palm-fringed pool, gardens and a concert auditorium hidden in the lava.
